Writing

Restless writer.

Can anyone tell me why even after all these years in my life, it is still a struggle for me to get any reasonable writing/blogging work done at home, in spite of the fact that I have the space set up to be able to do so.

For some reason, I always find every excuse in the book to lie on the couch, go to the kitchen, open the fridge 500 times to seek something to nibble, go into the bedroom for an unknown reason, go into the bathroom, recollect chores that needs to be done and so on and so forth.

I will end up sitting for 15 minutes and faffing away 5 hours over nothing. I have tried different strategies, and they work for a little bit only for the cycle of parading around the house being busy doing nothing kicks in again.

Yet, when I go to the library or a cafe, the reverse is the case. I can sit for 5 hours straight getting stuff done. The challenge is that where I live presently is some distance away from the libraries and the cafes around me are not so conducive; I often end up buying and eating snacks that I could do without eating.

How do you get your blogging, writing work done? Would love to borrow ideas from others.

  1. I am having better luck since I started writing in the midst of my morning routine. I get up, have coffee and read the paper, do my meds and vitamins, sit down to do my blog, check in with my workout group, and work out. The other things I do are such longstanding habits that once I squeezed in the blog, it easily became habit as well

  2. My strategy is to take that first step. I need to remember I am doing the work to bring glory to the Lord. As long as I focus on this, then taking the first step and finishing the project brings me joy and is a blessing for others. May you lean not on your own understanding and trust in the Lord to lead your steps. God bless. 🙏
